From Saddam Hussein's reign of terror beginning in the 1960s, to the fight against ISIS today, violence, revolution, and questions around identity, agency, survival, and resistance have been at the forefront of women's lives for decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is a collection of these women's stories written in their own words. Each story reveals a tapestry of experiences, including political activism under Saddam and armed resistance in Rojava's PKK and YPG and Komala in Rojhalat. This is in addition to experiences of FGM and overcoming victimhood, life under extreme conservatism, as well as a look into the work of artists, poets, novelists, and performers whose work represents a complicated relationship with Kurdistan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These rich and nuanced insights come from a group of women from a nation without a state, who are now scattered across the world. Collectively, they take the reader on a journey that will inspire feminist, anti-fascist, and anti-racist people across the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Houzan Mahmoud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745341144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745341149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Houzan Mahmoud","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991430168831,"sku":"9780745341149","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6985d0b6-411f-4a8c-972c-5f5d8c2815c2.jpg?v=1683310247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kurdish-womens-stories-houzan-mahmoud-9780745341149","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
